Dear Parents,

The 8th grade science department will be taking a fieldtrip to Physic’s Phun Day located at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park.

This is a wonderful opportunity for your student to better understand forces and motion in a fun and exciting way by enjoying Knott’s rides and attractions. The hands on activities cover many of California’s state science standards that your student is learning about this year. If students attend, they will be completing a required handout worth 50 points with several physics questions based on various thrill rides within the park.

This field trip is purely voluntary and it does have a cost (listed below). Those students who do not attend will have physics problems completed in class.

Thank you,

The Physical Science Department

Ms. Collins, Ms. Van Cleave, Mr. Hilke, Mrs. Nguyen
